Hansel and Gretel and the Cheddar Trail (Fiona and Frieda's Fairy-tale Adventures)

This book is a modern adaptation of the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. In this version by Nadia Higgins, the main characters Fiona and Frieda get lost in a forest while following a map to find the legendary Cheddar Trail. They encounter challenges and dangers along the way before eventually finding their way safely out of the forest. Fiona and Frieda's Girls United Troop 895 is on a mission to clean up the Forest Street Subway Station. After the girls stray from the group, they find themselves totally, completely, hopelessly lost. As lost as Hansel and Gretel! Fiona and Frieda are as scared as two bugs on their backs, but they know what they have to do. They have to use their magic rhyming powers and enter the realm of fairy tales. It's the only way to help Hansel and Gretel get home--even if the witchiest-witch ever locks them in a cage, or worse! Can they find their way out of the subway or have they lost their cheddar trail?
